after 3 THR I can tell you how incredible ucky in to have my mobility it ha been a lot of pain recovering each time was different. I took me a t the longest over a year to finally feel well from the last one 2 yrs ago.
evey circumstance is different bone and tissue disa from OA O other
I may not be able to run a marathon but every now and then My hips let me know to slow down.
Always stay with exercises to stay Aron no maintain core strength.
Some of us hippies have had difficult stripuggles to recovery for many different reasons.
it takes time for our bones to grow and secure the components used in THR. Muscles an tendons take longe for some of us for a variety of reasons. The majority of us do get back our lives as he pain is any a memory for many.
Give your body time after all it's major surgery and most people think we'll you have a new hip you can walk and they don't realize the fight we put up to get there. It's not easy. ask for water therapy. It helped me even afr regular therapy .

I am scheduled for hip replacement in a couple of months. Aside from the pain and little limp, does it feel normal?
I mean can you feel that there is a prothesis, or does it just feel like part of your body?
Does the movement feel natural?

I have to say in my experience you don't realize there is a prothesis in the ho area at all as far as it feeling any different than the bone joint did. Once the joint is replaced and recovery it is moving as usual without the devestating pain of groin and hip or limp. See the components online and ask your dr what manufacturer. Then it's easy to see what they look like and helps answer some of your questions. The surgery is also on you tube. It is very precise and easily un stood and explained as they go along.
It does take time therapy & exercise to regain muscle and leg strength. It's great to have mobility back. I can not run I have both hips done and a revision. THR is the best alternative to maintaining movement .
YES the movement feels natural, for me it has been so much better.
it will be for you too!
The only time you notice it's there while moving after rehab is when you go thru the airport and set off the alarms. If you plan on flying be sure to tell the screening attendant . Even now they still have me stand aside and do the individual search.
so there you go! GOOD LUCK!

prepare your home & your food ahead of time, and the best thing I ever did was wear cloths that went over my head and slip on shoes and well uh... adult diapers for those early days when we can't move quite as fast as we need to.
Soon you'll be past it all !!!!

Sounds great to hear your getting around so well. Only 6 1/2 months out.
your proof how wonderful and lucky we hippies are to have new hips once our old ones leave us in pain.
Nice to hear you have your mobility back walking like a pro. Remember not to sit to long get up and incorporate the hip exercises in your daily routine. This helped me a lot when coping with work after THR.
also let those around you and supervisor know your still heeling. You would be surprised how helpful and understanding people can be once they know .
take it easy one day at a time.
Best wishes.
Hope
